My Baby

When I knew you were there, I was on top of the world. There was nothing that I wanted to hear, from you, but just that one word.
They say you were inside me, A part of my heart, part of my soul.
I can see you and feel you with me.
You complete me you make me whole.
Even if for a short time, It's the
strongest tie. You took every breath I did.
Now and will be till the day I die.
I am sure you felt mummy, Just as much as mummy felt you.
Honey I love you, And I know you would have loved me too.
No one can see you for some you never
existed. I don't know what happened to us,
but I swear I resisted.
I dreamt of you for years waited to hold
you just wanted to hear 'Mummy I love you'.
But it was not meant to be. I lost you before I felt your heart.
Way before I held you near me.
Life took us apart.
I still feel you inside. I feel you with me.
I see you smile in my eyes. I feel you kiss me goodnight.

"Love is that condition in the human spirit so profound that it allows me to survive, and better than that, to thrive with passion, compassion, and style."
